Gluten & Dairy Free Chicken & Dumplings

2 cooked chicken breasts, diced
1 small onion, diced
12 oz frozen mixed veggies
3 Tablespoon GF chicken bullion

Saute in dutch oven until veggies are softened a little.

Add 2 cups of water.

Mix 2-3 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 cup of water.

Stir into chicken mixture. Reduce heat to low and let simmer.

Mix 3 cups of GF bisquick with 2/3 cup shortening til it's mixed thoroughly. Add 1 Cup of chicken broth (I used water/bullion mix)  shape biscuits and place on top of chicken mixture. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until bicuits are done. They may not be golden even when done.

Enjoy!

Bummer...

I'm disappointed.  I'm starting to feel tired and run down again.  It could be a mixture of other things, but the feeling better was only temporary, I guess.  Tho I don't feel nauseous anymore or sick to my stomach... but I'm tired, my body is tired & my headaches are back.

I'm bummed...but I'm still staying away from gluten.  I'm happy enough with the results... I'm just not sure why I'm still feeling cruddy.

Breakfast

I find that breakfast can be tough. I love eggs with english muffins. Or egg on toast. Or muffins. mmmm.

Greek yogurt is good and Matt found this granola for me. It's so yummy!

Feeling Better!!

The absolute best thing about going GF has been the fact that I'm enjoying my kids again.  Even when they are driving me crazy, I handle it rationally, calmly and logically rather than being in a fog.

Last night we all ate the same thing together!!  Ok, so theirs was full of gluten and mine wasn't, but it was the same type of thing: Chicken Parmesan over noodles w/ a side of salad.  Yum!  It was so good and I made extra so I could have it for lunch today too.  I didn't even think to snap a picture so I could share here...  it was very tasty!

I seem to be over the hump of withdrawal... yay!  I'm uber tired today, but was up a lot last night, worrying about my 6 y/o who is very sick.  Otherwise, I feel as tho being GF is helping me in many ways.  Soon will be 2 weeks of this journey.... yikes!

My husband has been wonderfully supportive and completely on board w/ this...  he's even suggested I do GF for the whole family at dinner time so I don't have to make too meals.  It's a lot more expensive, tho, so for now I'll make 2 meals when necessary.
